TofuLove8 months agoTofuLoveI decorated my office area in tons of colors, every time I look up profusions of bright colors are everywhere and I adore it, seeing all these colors and their uniqueness, their expressiveness, how harmonious they each are while being distinct, it makes me feel grateful to have such a wonderful moment.

I’m looking at my vitamins and I’m grateful for them as they’ve helped me throughout the pandemic, I found a regimen of vitamins to help me sleep as my anxiety was getting such that I couldn’t sleep that deeply (l-theanine, tiny doses of melatonin, magnesium glycinate, gaba and very small doses of 5-htp) which literally pulled me through a very dark point by helping me to be able to get a full night’s rest. I’m grateful for the advice I found through various forums on what vitamins to try, grateful for the people who all went into getting those vitamins out to me, grateful for the chemists all throughout history who discovered these various vitamins, the business people who helped create economies of scale and transportation systems so that I could afford a bottle of vitamins like this, it is incredibly mind boggling how much the world, humanity, gave me to have that good night of sleep. My breathe, that it operates without me ever thinking about it, keeping me alive, oxygenating my body, that the greater wisdom of my body is that breathe continually saying, yes to life, yes to the birds singing, yes to sunshine, yes to love, yes to the unknown mystery of being alive.

Deeply grateful. Read More5 Reply Malag8 months agoMalagThis body with its amazing construction and workings. The air that keeps me alive, one breath at a time. Daylight coming through again; the sun rose again or rather we spun to its embrace. 4 Reply ALICIA8 months agoALICIAThe color of the sky-a clear, deep blue that can only be seen as it is here in New England at this time of year. The chipmunk convention going on as I walked up the mountain. One would not have been able to converse because their chirps were so loud and frequent. I smiled. My daughter will be here tomorrow. A rare treat. I am grateful. We used to watch the sky when she was little. Contrails reminded her of a pencil writing on the sky. Clouds were shapes to imagine...and I still do.

One would not have been able to converse because their chirps were so loud and frequent. I smiled. My daughter will be here tomorrow. A rare treat. I am grateful. We used to watch the sky when she was little. Contrails reminded her of a pencil writing on the sky. Clouds were shapes to imagine…and I still do. It is unseasonably warm here. I am grateful for the sun yet look forward to the coming of cold weather and snow. My eyesight-I still have it to see what I described. Grateful. Relieved. My father lost his sight when I was 15. I have compassion for those who are limited in any way.

Watching raccoon family, with two babies, frolic and play. Feeling content and grateful after big effort to sort myself out. 5 Reply dcdeb8 months agodcdebMy electronic devices always fill me with awe because of the way they work. The way my car is able to work. The knowledge that some people on the planet have and the way they apply it. 6 Reply Elaine8 months agoElaineThe glorious autumn colours from the window of a humble rustic lodge in a still (relatively) wild region of British Columbia. That’s three! 7 Reply pkr8 months agopkrThe tree out my kitchen window that is starting to drop its leaves & change color; green to yellow. The blue sky with wispy, foggy clouds above. Birds singing, little kids chirping & chatting on their way to school. I am thankful for all of it. 🙏 6 Reply Lauryn8 months agoLauryn1. The trees I can see from my porch— here in Northern California fall is (sort of) here and I can see the leaves starting to turn. When I sit on my porch I often stare at the trees…watching birds, listening to the leaves rustling in the wind. 2. My zinnia plants in my garden- sure they aren’t looking perfectly healthy, but they’ve continued to flower throughout the summer and into the fall.

The trees I can see from my porch— here in Northern California fall is (sort of) here and I can see the leaves starting to turn.

My zinnia plants in my garden- sure they aren’t looking perfectly healthy, but they’ve continued to flower throughout the summer and into the fall. I haven’t always had outdoor space where I’ve lived so I appreciate the gardening experience I’ve had this past summer. 3. My side porch – I sit out here every morning before I start my work day, drinking coffee, reading this site, watching the birds. It’s a pretty basic small porch & I could make it look much nicer, but really just being able to have an outdoor space of my own is enough.

A loving husband. Healthy food to eat. I know how lucky I am and I am deeply grateful. 6 Reply Chung van Gog8 months agoChung van GogI am at my friend’s place, I am grateful for her amazing hospitality. I also feel (a little bit) grateful toward myself for reconnecting with gratefulness practice and meditation. And also toward my friends for their warmth and kindness. 7 Reply ch8 months agochThe cat sleeping on my knees, reading your comments on the screen and our garden outside the window 8 Reply Mike8 months agoMikeCoffee, books, an open day ahead. 8 Reply Patricia8 months agoPatriciaThe foliage of the autumn trees outside. My husband near me, doing his own reading and work on his laptop. Coffee. My faithful 16 year old dog curled asleep in his bed. Our home. (I could go on…) 7 Reply Michele8 months agoMicheleMy daughter sleeping in my guest room. My cat howling for more food. My family upbringing and treasuring all those memories. 7 Reply Carol8 months agoCarolThe computer which allows me to visit this sight and connect with others throughout the world. The first cup of coffee of the day which I’m enjoying immensely. The young plant that is unfurling a new leaf this morning. It breaths and I breath. We are feeding each other. 7 Reply Nelson8 months agoNelsonThe morning air. How quiet early mornings are. Watching the sun rise. 7 Reply 1 2 Next » My Private Gratitude Journal Write an entry in your private gratefulness journal Get Started This site is brought to you by A Network for Grateful Living, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit.
